The Rat Works Reaper Review

[@dawiddadun3044]

My Scorpion & my lads ultra have both been delivered to ratworks today for a full tune, tench reg & full barrel shroud. And its thanks to your vids that I chose ratworks. Both rifles are already superbly accurate with qys heavies for the ultra & aa field for the scorpion but they are both 2nd hand rifles so the cost of the ratworks work & the cost of the rifles works out at around the same as a new scorpion & ultra. Can't wait to get them back.

[@karlmaddox1209]

Dawid Dadun was my partners sons account that I wrote from that I was getting my lads ultra & my scorpion ratworked. This reply is from my own account hence the different names. Ok...a follow up report on our rifles. My lads ultra occasionally didn't fire after cocking. Its a multishot so had to be recocked which meant a double load. After trying the gun myself & having the same thing happen I had a look at the trigger & found that the trigger had been set so light that the sear sometimes didn't engage with the hammer. Basically the trigger had been set dangerously light. I adjusted it & it's been fine ever since. Now, the accuracy. Neither gun was any where near as accurate as they were beforehand. We just couldn't get consistent accuracy. It was so annoying & disappointing. We just hoped that they needed to bed in after the tune but no, they just wouldn't group. After checking all the usual suspects...scope mounts, bolts, mag etc I suspected the shroud may be the culprit. I took mine off first & went to my shoot. Lo & behold it was back to its old self. Took my lads shroud off & on friday we went to test them & both of us shot the best groups we've ever shot through the guns. My lad put 10 qys heavies through a bullseye made by a bingo dabber that I use to make aimpoints..maybe 10MMS diameter. All shots inside the bull. And I put 5 air arms diablos through a hole only slightly bigger than a 177 pellet. All groups shot at 27mtrs. Superb. So to sum up...the trigger set up was, admittedly,a bit worrying, the shroud is, from our experience, not recommended. But the guns now shoot fantastically so the reg & tune is definitely recommended. I'll be contacting ratworks about the shrouds cos they cost me 100 quid each & are now basically useless unless we only want to hit roughly where we're aiming. This is our experience & I understand others may have had a different experience. It hasn't put me off from using ratworks again for tuning though.

Yea, of course we trust you ; I do !! You have the right equipment , the right pellets for this gun and last but not least the Knowledge . Great shooting !!!

[@vic9352]

The mojo is still there pal even after 2 years off. It really is great to see you back and in top form👍

[@andrewc2633]

I have a ultra and because of seeing this video it is being sent to phil in January for him to do his magic on the vermin hunters channel is in my humble opinion the best and most informative on KZbin cheers guys

[@petelloyd2595]

Another brilliant review Si keep them coming,the Ultras are a cracking little gun but underestimated by a lot of people.

[@TheGeodoctorcl]

Hello again from Canada Si. You have created quite a piece of kit Si. As impressive the gun is, the shooter behind the gun is amazing also. Well done mate, I am still a .22 cal shooter, but this could make me look again at the .177 cal. In Canada we are not hamstrung by any ft.lb regulations. So for me, the 22 or 25 cal is my preferred caliber. TY so much fro sharing you gun and talents. I love this channel! I almost feel sorry for the vermin....almost...LOL!

[@garthe-r9079]

Hi Si & Davey, What can I say but astonishing!! Your review was both comprehensive and unbiased. Detailed description of the work undertaken was easily understood. Most importantly you demonstrated the results in both a range and field environment. TOP MARKS!!!

[@VerminHuntersTV]

Hi Garth e-r, We are glad that you liked the review. If yo look in our ist of videos you will see more reviews filmed around the same theme.

[@paulfarrell5935]

What an amazingly quite gun! Spectacular shooting and excellent review. As usual this video was as entertaining as it was informative and of course, as always, an inspiration! Thank you!

[@VerminHuntersTV]

Thanks for your positive feedback. We are glad you enjoyed it.

another great video si ,cant get over the accuracy of this rifle a credit to phil and your excellent shoothing ,keep the vids coming

[@VerminHuntersTV]

Thanks Gary

[@kevvyboy63]

Beautiful little rifle with stunning performance to match. I have a little bog standard ultra se single shot and i cannot fault it one bit for accuracy straight out the box but yours is on a different level altogether. Cant wait to see it in a full on hunting video mate. 👍

[@MrTench8]

Hi Si, I really enjoyed that video, being a very good shooter rather than purely a journo brings a quality to your vids that many lack. Phil has done a great job there with that rifle, stunning work! I am quite proud it has some of my parts in it. Well Done.

[@VerminHuntersTV]

Hi Simon I've only just seen this post. Nice to hear from you again. Every rifle I've had with your parts in were fabulous. Thanks for your kind words. Si.

[@MTVerminHunters]

I love this rifle!! Looks great and performs just as well.

[@adamlaneben]

[@dullbrass]

Nice gun and great video! Thanks for sharing!

[@neilels4208]

Another excellent video. I really like the build up and lead in :-)

[@markbailey2981]

Hi Si, Nice video as always mate. Ive got a BSA Ultra with a Scorpian stock, just wonder how much a custom job usualy costs with Rat Works. Love the shroud and large bolt grip. Cheers for the hard work you always put in for us.

[@VerminHuntersTV]

Work varies so your better off calling the Rat Works for your own price.

[@therattyfire5468]

SI you have one cracking weapon there, as usual an extremely well presented review. That reaper is whisper quiet, makes my super10 sound like a cannon. Thanks for sharing, (green with envy) ATVB Billy.

[@Themrmusic1974]

Really nice rifle and cracking shooting Si. What do you fill it to with the regulator fitted and how many shots does it deliver.

[@stevensmith3069]

Great rifle rat works look to have done a good job very accurate 👍

[@mikesmith5778]

I absolutely loved that last group from a pellet rifle just so great of an experience for all of us!

[@stephenhanson4513]

great rifle very good shooting as all ways and a very good video but now I need a rifle like that and were you using jsb pellets to shoot the rabbits Si, and thank you for your time

[@Adam151082]

Great video. How much would that work cost then?

[@hoppobun7]

Great vid Si, more accurate long range shooting , this will bring the trolls out of the woodwork !!! Sod them keep up your great vids i had the pleasure of speaking to Davy at the shooting show ,pls both of you keep doing the vids, thanks Guys. atb brian

[@risingfriend100]

Nice Review Buddy and looks to be a sweet set up. Quality again ;)

[@superpete62]

Great review si,Dave the shroud is cool can that be done for scorpion 25cal what price mate great vids to.

[@taemard]

You REAPER is awesome ! Nice to here what mods you had done to get the remarkable results . Did you ever fire at the ''dud ' Firebird disks again to see if they exploded ? Terry Wi,USA

[@VerminHuntersTV]

Yes i did and it went off when hit smack in the middle.

[@stephenparker8221]

Hi Si my ultra se is feeling underpowered what would you recommend in terms or tuning???? Thanx

[@lakecaragh]

Si great video. What is the best range to zero my gun I have an fx royal 400 in .22 thanks for your time.

[@VerminHuntersTV]

27 yards

[@m1dn1ghtf0x8]

Not a great advert for Firebird targets :) great gun, great vid! Thanks Si

[@ballkeeper6662]

you and davy do a great job m8,do you ever keep the rabbits to eat ?

[@neilfordham5790]

Great shooting Si with a great gun. You didnt mention how much Rat Works charged though.

[@jamie6293]

Hi Simon, you mentioned you had a Tenchy reg fitted to your BSA. Is that the one from Simon Howarth aka Tenchy, I had one from him in my S410 which I too found to be very good. Great video cheers.

[@VerminHuntersTV]

Yes it is mate.

[@laurenceduerden4778]

Great Vid Thanks for sharing. What pellet head size did you settle on?

[@VerminHuntersTV]

4.53mm were a few mm better at range

[@khaleditl123]

Grate video why you use 8 grn instead of 10grn for this speed ? Thanks

[@VerminHuntersTV]

Because after pellet testing for accuracy the 8.4 grain pellets proved the more accurate.

[@wibble1999]

Si....you show every shot good or bad...if folk dont trust you then why watch... i trust 100%.... good luck fella Dave

[@initiatededdeano]

how much did the rat works reaper package cost?

[@alexandrecosta8024]

very nice rifle

[@regsparkes6507]

Paul Farrell took the words right out of my mouth ! I can't add to this at all....except I'm in Canada and can't buy a rifle like that, you folks have all the great 'rat works'......( How's that for being green with envy ? )

[@WEED2207]

Si,Nice video. Is this a better tune than the Sandwell Fieldsports one?

[@VerminHuntersTV]

They are 2 different tunes Weed. SFS do springers and this is a PCP tune. Both are the top of their game.

[@paulanning2831]

I like the work you had done on your gun si and nice 3 shot to if people watch you and David shooting they would believe you

[@GixxerL]

Nice rifle si , how much money you pumped into that lol your Mrs must really love you , love all your vids you and Davey do don't listen to the haters lads no matter what you boys do there'll always be negative people in this world just keep doing what you love doing , just sent my pro sport to the hydrographics boys up in York so can't wait to get it back and see there magic 👍🏽

[@noahwolfgang799]

That is supper quite , surprising how much energy there is at 80 yards still around 4 and a bit foot pounds, enough to kill a rabbit , there is a video on the field sports channel at 80 ,but i suppose it is just a bit hard to predict at them ranges..have you not thought of getting a fac?? great video si..........also do u think your hw97 would do that!

[@GunnerRA155]

Thats an awesome group at 100m for a UK Legal sub 12ftlb air rifle, in the out doors with an intermittent breeze!

[@louisc5896]

Hi guys, I'm thinking about getting my R10se tuned. Do I go to.. Rat Works Or John bowkett And if anyone knows what they both do that's different to each other please let me know 🙂

[@87coops]

with them firebird targets u need to use the magnetic holder or they dont go off every time, ive blown holes in them at 35m an they still dont go off

[@VerminHuntersTV]

It was ashame they didn't explode the 3 times. Would have looked good on camera.

[@87coops]

VerminHuntersTV yea man it would ,there very unreliable, they need a soild metal background but even then there not a 100%. did u get the pack of ten or the box of twenty? with the twenty u get a magnetic holder which really helps with them goin off, not sure if it comes with the ten pack

[@rickydowning2194]

How many shots per charge do you get from this

[@VerminHuntersTV]

I think it's 96 off the top of my head.

[@rickydowning2194]

Pretty good then, you prefer this to the HW100?

[@kovakanki]

Hey! In finland we have no limit to power of airguns so we can shoot full power guns in here but only in papertargets.. we cant hunt anything with airguns..so sad. i´m so jealous for you guys! :)

[@MerlinVI]

Dont forget that although you have 11.3 at the muzzle you wont have that at the target, Although judging by the dent made it should have set the target off.

[@basbosi123]

Nice shooting as usual. What that tattoo you got on your finger?

[@VerminHuntersTV]

Thanks. Its Arabic for my wives name.

[@roydredge1273]

do you prefer this to the 97KT

[@VerminHuntersTV]

I wouldn't say prefer. Ive liked all my rifles. This one is just pretty easy accuracy.

[@mikesmith5778]

we have antelope jack rabbits here in Arizona that are 3 feet tall sitting and 5 foot from toe to nose you need at least a 38 special to bag them they weigh about 14 to 17 lbs and they can run 55 mph!

[@mikesmith5778]

+bam bam no I just eat a few Peyote buttons early each morning and it lasts all day! But I smoke a bit of weed at night too... so I can spot UFO's out on the range... hahaha!

[@mikesmith5778]

I forgot to mention I try to drink a dozen beers in 15 minutes as soon as I wake up around 4pm each day too.

[@taemard]

cool

[@VerminSniperUnit]

Looks a nice rifle, but JB is still king and always will be anything BSA!

[@VerminHuntersTV]

In your opinion

[@wudzy67]

Enjoy all your videos lads but on this one there were no first shot holes shown for the fire bird's,like you say haters Gona hate but best prove them wrong,so leave them with no ammo and cover all the angles.

[@VerminHuntersTV]

People will only believe what they want to believe mate.

[@wudzy67]

I believe,got no reason not too.

[@leancapelari5501]

5.5 ou 4.5 ??????????

[@jamiewilliams8940]

4.5 it is buddy

[@MrHogofwar]

Looks good Si but when I Google " RAT Works Cricket" it puts me off dealing with Phil Crampton

[@carlevie5315]

hi si where are the ratworks based at

[@VerminHuntersTV]

Leicester I believe.
